10.Interlude
Isabella Marie Swan
I jumped onto the warmth comfort of the duvet, my fingers tracing the floral patterns embossed intricately on the smooth mauve fabric, the recounts of last evening playing over several times before my eyes like a tape set on perpetual re-loop. I had already missed the scent lingering across Edward's alabaster neck, the gaze in which he held fervently upon my touch, the somewhat pernicious gaze swimming through the molten gold of his pupils. I loved him, regardless of anything that could debar us from being together.
The familar ringing tone of my phone shortened my protracting fantasies. I grabbed the receiver, clasping it hesistantly over my ears, mad at the sudden intrusion of my disrupted thoughts.
"Hello, Bella speaking."
"Hey, Bella. Jake here,"the coarse voice sounded through my ears throatily.
I tucked the loose strand of my mahogany hair back, sitting up from the previous lethargic composure, realizing how much I had missed the merest presence of Jacob Black. I sat cross-legged on the thick mattresse, leaning against the pillows. "Hey, you haven't called since that day. I was kind of expecting your non-existent calls."
There seemed to be a hesistant pause at the end of the line, Jacob's breathing heavy underneath the proximity of his imminent words. I chuckled soundlessly, awaiting his response with the sudden anticipation I had felt when I first slided into Edward's Aston. The adrenaline pumping in my veins for the arrival of few, possibly, prosaic words that were about to exit Jake's fat, brown lips.
"So how's everything going?"he asked after several awaited seconds.
"Fine.So what did you wanted to say to me?"I said in haste, overwhelmed by the overbearing anxiety in which his words could sought after with.
"I'm sorry, about that day. You know, lashing out at you and all. The thearical older-brotherly thing that was beyond me, honestly. I didn't know why I had this sudden feeling of...goodness I don't even know what it is. Just forgive me would you, Bella?"he muttered, tone in slight exasperation.
"God, Jacob. There was't the slightest fault on your part-and I wouldn't say it was me who was wrong 'cause that is suchcliche shit-but you were just worried for me. I mean any bestie would right?"I said in a particularly over-enthused tone.
"Yeah. So wanna go get a drink tommorow night or something? My treat."
I mulled over Edward's reaction when I broke to him I had some other matter to attend to that didnt involved his merest presence but what the hell...
"Sure.Can't wait."
